The Yellow Wave

Kenneth
Mackay’s 19th century classic Australian novel comes to vivid life on the
stage, in an epic saga of love, heroism and sacrifice.
The
Yellow Wave is a prescient tale of war, passion and boat arrivals.

Soldier
of fortune Philip Orloff and salt-of-the-earth
Dick Hatten vie for the hand of stoic
heroine Heather Cameron against a backdrop of invasion by a pair of Russian rail barons leading a Mongol force into
the heart of Queensland.

Armed
with sharp humour, this play explores immigration, gender, racial stereotyping,
equality and notions of what is ‘other’ or ‘alien’.
The
Yellow Wave is an
invasion like no other.
